I used to be able to schedule DVR recordings. Now it said its not supported on Jailbroken Devices and I can't even schedule a G-D- DVR show. I need iBlacklist, 5 x 4 icon springboard and infinifolders to stay organized. Guess i'll have to see if xCon works. If not, its back to restore the old version from iTunes.

I've yet to find a single reason to jailbreak any of my iOS devices, but that's a topic for elsewhere.

Sweet!
It's a now option to have.
I used to hope that my App Store update number meant a DirecTv update. I gave up all hope because all recent threads wondering about an iPhone app were never addressed by an expert wih a cryptic "soon"

I have not been able to use this app for some time as it always says "we are experiencing technical..." followed by error 1001- Network Communication Data Contents PGWSReceivers

This update has not fixed the issue (even reinstalling) and I have not been able to find a solution to get it working again.

If you have set up iCloud, on the iPhone go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage>Under Backups Click your iPhone it should display the name and size of the backup> Show all Apps> Scroll to DirecTV then Turn Off & DeleteThen delete and re-install the App only after doing the above. If its working properly after re-install then you can repeat the steps above except Turn On to continue backing up the data.

Hmm looks like we don't have to. If you visit directv's website in safari, seems there's still options to set recordings. They even give you a shortcut icon to the mobile website if you tap the popup on first visit.

Works but having a Personal Hotspot message show up on my iPhone 4s screen causes everything to shift down a bit making it very difficult to select the "Live TV in your home wifi network" button.

This happens with a lot of iOS apps that push GUI elements to the far bottom of the screen and don't account for the "Personal Hotspot Connection" message that appears whenever you have devices tethered to your iPhone.

Does the "Watch Live TV" use one of the receivers in my house to stream the video to my iPhone or is it coming over the internet? Just wondering if i have all my DVRs recording shows if this will impact that.
